God saw Christos was getting tiredWhen a cure was not to be.So He wrapped His arms around himAnd whispered, "Come to Me".In tears we saw him sinking,We watched him fade away.Our hearts were truly broken,Christos fought so hard to stay.But when we saw him sleepingPeacefully and free from pain,We could not wish him backTo suffer that again.So keep Your arms around him, Lord,And give him special care,Make up for all he suffered,That seemed to us unfair.So many times we've needed him,So many times we've cried.If love could have saved him,Christos never would have died.
